When we released Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012 as a new and powerful way to achieve high availability, hardware environments included NUMA machines with low-end multi-core processors and SATA and SAN drives for storage (some SSDs). As we moved towards SQL Server 2014, the pace of hardware accelerated.

As indicated, SQL Server 2016 added the use of SSE and AVX instructions in various code paths to improve performance. SQL Server asks the CPU if it supports SSE or AVX in order to determine the level of hardware support present on the system. My recent posts. have generated discussions about the SSE and AVX support boundaries.

HPU: Holographic Processing Unit (HPU) is the specific hardware of Microsoft’s Hololens. To my best knowledge, even though the term NPU was first mentioned in a MICRO 2012 paper by Hadi Esmaeilzadeh et al. , the first commercial product named after NPU in industry is from Vimicro in 2016. In ISSCC’18, there were many NPU designs.

As software performance degrades or fails, the chaos engineers’ findings enable developers to add resiliency into the code, so the application remains intact in an emergency. Chaos engineering matured at organizations such as Netflix, and gave rise to technologies such as Gremlin (2016) , becoming more targeted and knowledge-based.

LTS (April 2016). It uses a Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) to provide a Solaris-kernel interface on Linux, so that unmodified ZFS code can execute. There's also a ZFS send/recv code path that should try to use the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE flag (as suggested by a coworker), to avoid a kernel hang (can't kill -9 the process).
